Mini Update
Okay so.. I'm a retard and I left my timer on 'ON' instead of 'TIMER' so.. I really have no idea how long my plants have been on 24/0 instead of 20/4. That would explain the crap growth I have been seeing, (almost no roots at all) My 12/12 from seed thai super skunk has already surpassed my blue cheese plant in growth. And its just using the stock AG light in my laundry room closet, it was germinated directly in my AG, and it cracked and sprouted in 48 hours. I only realized it was on 24/0 when I woke up at 4:30 last night and was wondering why the fuck my lights were still on since my dark period was supposed to be 2:00-6:00 AM.
I will do a photo update when I get a second node on my blue cheese plant. My bagseed plant was re-potted into an 8" pot yesterday, its looking good, I'll do an update on that when it gets kicked into 12/12.
All of my plants (bagseed, blue cheese, whiteberry, thai super skunk) are looking very healthy, just gotta wait for them to mature =]

[quote="SICC";2283104]Sounds good homie, keep us posted, how them Tubs workin out?[/quote]
Seem to be working out fine, can't really tell if there is much of a difference from the AG other than the fact that I have like 5" more vertical room, and like 8" of horizontal room, plus its really easy to work in my space now.
I am planning on making another one of these tubs for my thai super skunk fems (if there are any)
Since they are 14 week flower and fucking massive sativas, I put them into 12/12 from seed, and when I flower my fems I can just move the them out of the AG closet and into one of these tubs, since I have room now.
I am just going to give the thai super skunk my AG nutes though, don't want to waste my good stuff on these test plants, since I have a shitload, got a full master gardener set and herb set lol.

Cool grow dude! I want to do it this way too.
The AG rez is probably ok for tomatoes but shit, I wish I could move my plant to some other fat ass rez magically without effort. Good luck on the grow!

If you couldn't see from the picture here is how its set up, and if you already knew, I figured I'd just explain it anyways.
3x socket to plug adapters
3x y socket adapters
4x 26W CFL (6500K for veg, swap for 2700K in flower)
2x 42W CFL (2700K)
This power strip has a double height plug for the bottom one, you might have to try a few different ones before you find one that has good plug spacing for the cfls.
If you find a more efficient way to keep the plugs fastened in the sockets let me know.

Yooo LM. Nice grow. I grew with cfl's for a long time. Its still sick in the head what kinda results u can pull down in the setup.
Good job.
Good job.

lurk i recently went to a small hardware store and found cuplinks that go around your plug with an extra loop on the edge so you can fasten it to its powerstrip w/ a screw!

Yessir.
The white berry plant is looking crazy... has some purple tinges to it and pink stems... my friend has my camera so.. I'll post an update when I get it.
edit:
Day 7
Plants are doing well, Both plants had some seed shedding problems, so their first sets of leaves are kind of funky. The white berry is grownig way faster than the blue cheese. I have really high hopes for this whiteberry now... I'm definitely going to try to take some clones from this plant.

I use my 16mm F2.8 fisheye lens for my macro shots since I dont have a real macro lens, but I think it does a good job.

Day 10
I don't really know what these rust-colored spots are, my bagseed plant went through the same thing. It doesn't look like a nutrient deficiency, the pH checks out fine, temp is good, lights aren't too close either. It looks like it only affects the older leaves though, new growth is coming along nicely.
Blue Cheese finally opened her leaves and started growing at what seems like a more normal rate.
White Berry is chugging along at lightspeed.
I switched to 18/6 for my own good, was getting tired of ambient light in my room when I was trying to sleep. (shining out of the cracks)
Also my 12/12 from seed Thai super skunk is looking good, the stem is extremely flimsy, I don't have a fan in this closet. I'm not really too worried though this was an experiment more than anything. (I don't even remember how old this plant is, its only a few days younger than these other two seeds though)
